I did some research into the matter using two primary sources: The FBI Uniform Crime Report (2006), and the Bureau of the Census 2006 Population Estimates. This is what I found concerning "Forcible Rape."

United States 92,455 (30.9:100,000)
Alaska 509 (76:100,000)

Anchorage Forcible Rape = 248 (2006)
Anchorage Population (Est. July 1, 2006) = 359,180
Anchorage Forcible Rape Ratio = 69 per 100,000

Fairbanks Forcible Rape = 67 (2006)
Fairbanks Population (Est. July 1, 2006) = 86,754
Fairbanks Forcible Rape Ratio = 77.2 per 100,000

Los Angeles Forcible Rape = 1059 (2006)
Los Angeles (Santa Ana-Anaheim-Irvine, CA) Population (Est. July 1, 2006) = 3,002,048
Los Angeles Forcible Rape Ratio = 35.2 per 100,000

New York Forcible Rape = 1071 (2006)
New York (Nassau-Suffolk, NY) Population (Est. July 1, 2006) = 2,795,377
New York Forcible Rape Ratio = 38.3 per 100,000

Anchorage has more than double the national average in forcible rapes. I was not able to obtain the 2006 estimated populations of the smaller cities like Juneau or Kodiak, but it would appear that Anchorage does not have the highest rate of forcible rapes in Alaska, even though it is extremely high.

Based upon the above information, if I were female, I would most definitely buy a concealable firearm, learn to become proficient and self-confident in its use, and take some basic self-defense courses. It might also be a good idea to have a hiking or riding buddy when using the trail systems in Anchorage. Park your vehicle in well-lit areas, and try to avoid going anywhere alone.
